Ljubljana is a city where any visitor can find a special souvenir to take home. There are excellent fashion boutiques for lovers of both foreign and domestic designer labels, handicraft shops, where you can buy locally produced pottery, ceramics, lace and crystal. There are also galleries specialising in graphic arts, while Sunday mornings are for browsing for antiques at the riverside flea market. The colourful open market, open every day except Sundays, is one of the best things about Ljubljana. A morning spent here will fill the lunch table with fish from the seven seas, fruit and vegetables, and air-dried or smoked ham. A fantastic range of cheeses, herbs, honey and traditional sweets will remind you of Slovenia once you are home, especially if accompanied by a glass of your favourite Slovenian wine. Special souvenirs from Ljubljana and Slovenia are on sale at the Slovenian Tourist Information Centre.
